Apple's logo might have a bite taken out of it, but a Chinese man has escaped serious injury after taking it a little too literally.

CCTV footage posted to the internet shows the man, while shopping for a new battery, test a battery's authenticity or durability by biting it. It explodes in his face, engulfing him and a woman standing nearby in a brief ball of fire.
